[QUOTE="Elkwonder, post: 1157039, member: 28569"] OK, so I must admit I have a real thing for Kimber rifles. I have sold a lot of different rifles and replaced them with Kimbers. I currently have a 22-250, 25-06, and 280AI. I want to get a final Kimber that will finish my battery. I want something to use when my 280AI isn't quite big enough. It will be my Bear, Elk and Moose gun. I reload, so please keep that in mind. The calibers I have in mind are ... 30-06 pushing 220 grain bullets 300 WM pushing whatever 300 WSM pushing whatever These calibers I can buy in a normal Kimber chambering. The other option is to pick up a donor and have it re-barreled to 338-06 or 35 whelen. I am not a fan of really heavy recoil, but this gun will not be shot a ton, so as long as I don't get to carried away, I should be OK. NO 338 WM...lol What would be your thoughts? Feel free to recommend another caliber that I may be missing. Would the 30-06 with modern 220 grain loads be enough? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks [/QUOTE]
